Chateau it is safe to say (just like me) that you got nothing right about this episode. Its okay though, we forgive you. On to the next episode.

I didn't even attempt to get anything right myself here, and would've been completely wrong also. It's just great to see Chateau back to business. Thanks! Also, I'm glad that I can finally come here on a more regular basis, as I'm on a new and faster PC that'll allow me to see everything more effectively without much trouble (thanks to the old system).

Winning isn't everything, but it isn't considered nothing either. Otherwise, there wouldn't be a tribal council, a pit-stop, a boardroom, dimming of the lights, and so on

Well they had the taxi find to the airport in the morning. They had the taxi to the first route marker, then the taxi to the Fast Forward and then the Ferry. In some cities 88.00 doesn't go far with cabs. This of course assumes they don't spend anything on food,or water. Which we do see them with beverages in one cab so they must have gotten something. And Lynn & Alex in season 7's commentary say that water is a huge expense, for each leg to stay hydrated.

I was disappointed to see the teams ONLY use taxis--I really thought this would be a place to be a little challenged and to use the MTR (?) and the Octopus card--it would have been much more entertaining had the teams been told to "make your way to..." using public transportation--but NOT taxis.

The KL taxis I understand; the racers took off past midnight when the trains stop running. But I agree they should have tried the MTR. Fwiw, the fare to the dry cleaners (D/O car) was 261 HK- about 33 USD.

The Stunt Driver, Bruce Law and his company, is the Top in HK, also famous in worldwide.

Just for reference, the same company, Bruce Law Stunt Unlimited, also prepared the Kung Fu task on Tonkin street. They might have arranged the door task in Kennedy town as well, but I can't find any caps to prove it.

I was trying to pin down the timing of Mirna's "Yield Queens" comment. We would have seen that on December 3rd.

Is there an insider video that reveals when the teams got to see TAR10?

It looks like we watched the finale as the racers lounged around in a 36 hour pit stop in KL. Maybe KL television showed it that evening in KL. That would have been about 32 hours into their 36-hour pit stop.

I just realized that up until December 3rd (Maputo) on their race, only the BQs knew that Uchenna & Joyce where the only All Star team with a previous win. Because up until that date it was still possible that the BQs had won TAR10.

Chateau, I have had confirmation that they were showing the finale of TAR10 on the night of Dec 11th 2006 in Malaysia (it aired the night of Dec 10th 2006 in the States , which was the morning of Dec 11th in Malaysia). They apparently get the delayed telecast at night about 12 hours later.

So since the teams probably left about 2AM-ish, guess Ch/M weren't really up ALL night partying!

So we were right in thinking that there was a 36 hour Pitstop in KL all along. Thank goodness we "found" the 11th again!

Now how will we compensate for the dateline in our calculations as the teams come home?
